Neemia 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 5:4

There were also that said
Who though they were able to buy corn for their families without mortgaging their estates: yet, say they,

we have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands
and vineyards;
for though the priests, Levites, and Nethinims, were exempted from it, yet not the people in common; and some of these were so poor, that they could not pay it without borrowing upon their estates, and paying large usury for it, see ( Ezra 6:8 ) ( 7:24 )

Neemia 5:4 In-Context

2 Ve n’eran che dicevano: "Noi, i nostri figliuoli e le nostre figliuole siamo numerosi; ci si dia del grano perché possiam mangiare e vivere!"
3 Altri dicevano: "Impegnamo i nostri campi, le nostre vigne e le nostre case per assicurarci del grano durante la carestia!"
4 Altri ancora dicevano: "Noi abbiam preso del danaro a imprestito sui nostri campi e sulle nostre vigne per pagare il tributo del re.
5 Ora la nostra carne è come la carne de’ nostri fratelli, i nostri figliuoli son come i loro figliuoli; ed ecco che dobbiam sottoporre i nostri figliuoli e le nostre figliuole alla schiavitù, e alcune delle nostre figliuole son già ridotte schiave; e noi non possiamo farci nulla, giacché i nostri campi e le nostre vigne sono in mano d’altri".
6 Quand’udii i loro lamenti e queste parole, io m’indignai forte.
